Hi Gang,

Willem- good ears! It is not just a standard Bm7, there is something else to it. Keep experimenting and exploring.

I definitely think the D is incorrect in the G D Em progression. But I have not suggested that it should be a Bm7. I don't know what it actually is. It could be a particular Bm7 voicing or it could be some other entirely different chord. My guitar is not handy right now for me to search for the chord. Good luck. And you ear isn't bad. You got the harmonica section correct. I'm sure you can find the proper chord in the body of the song. It definitely sounds like it is in the 1st position.
Thanks Daryl. I agree, it does sound like it is in the first position or at least that end of the fretboard... ;)

Neil posted that it was not just a standard Bm7 chord, so I feel good about that too. I am thinking maybe some sort of altered chord with B in the bass. I will just have to mess around with it a bit.

Thanks again!

Jason

Well he didn't say it wasn't a Bm7, just not a 'standard' Bm7! B)

Or maybe.........indeed, experiment and explore! ;)
